The canonical source is
<http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html>

The files are now also in the Debian repository for our firmware-nonfree
package and in <http://git.decadent.org.uk/git/linux-firmware.git>.
I've asked David Woodhouse to pull from that into his linux-firmware.git
so that they get into other distros.

Ben.
